The Balearic health ministry's Saturday report points to a further notable fall in Covid hospitalisations. The number of Covid patients on wards is down by 21 to 242. While a decrease of just one was reported on Friday, the decrease was 36 on Thursday. Over three days, therefore, there has been a fall of just under 20%. Mallorca currently has 177 patients (14 fewer than Friday), Ibiza has 55 (-6) and Minorca ten (-1).
The ICU Covid occupancy rate is the same as on Friday, 14.9% - Mallorca 36 patients, Ibiza eight, Minorca seven.
According to the Saturday report, the figure for primary care cases in the Balearics has gone up by 460 to 5,723, which seems a bit odd. This could be an error. For Mallorca, the number is down 185 to 4,163.
The number of new positive cases is 390, 93 fewer than on Friday - Mallorca 320 (383 on Friday); Minorca 35 (57); Ibiza 21 (26); Formentera zero (one); plus unspecified. The test rate is 12.99%. It was 15.2% on Friday, and the seven-day rate is down from 15.76% to 15.38%.
The 14-day cumulative incidence rates are again all down - Balearics 839.8 from 908.1; Mallorca 877.1 from 941.8; Minorca 789.4 from 881.4; Ibiza 660.0 from 739.0; Formentera 680.4 from 697.2. The seven-day incidence in the Balearics is down from 317.3 to 296.8.
